A Correspondent Who Can Shoot,

LEXINGTON, KY, November 16.-Thomas
Greene, of Maysville, and Lew Baldwin,
of,Nicholasville, met in this city this morn
ing at half past eleven O'Clock and Greene
killed Baldwin in shooting affray. Greene
is correspondent of the Commercial Gs-
zette, and some months ago wrote a COM
munication concerning the conduct of the
election in Jessemine county, charging
Baldwin and others with certain unlsw-
full acts in the conduct of the election.
The poll books of two precincts in Jesse
mine county were stolen. This, among
other things, was charged in Greene's cor
respondence. To this Baldwin replied, de-
nouDcipg Greene in the strongest lang
uage. When they met in front of the
Phoenix Hotel at 11:30 the quarrel
was opened and Bald win denounced Green,
calling him sill the offensive names at his
command. Green being somewhat deaf,
either could not hear, or did not choose
to resent, and finally Baldwin drew his
pistol, striking Grenn on the head and af-
terward firing, but missing. Green then
drew and fired, two of the shots striking
Baldwin on the left shoulder, one of them
ranging down and cutting the aorta. Bald
win fired several shots, one Of which slightly
cut Green on the left side and then he fell
dead. Green was carried to a room in the
hotel end his wounds were found to be
tIihing. A Iaage number Of the friends OF
each are here and many threats are indulg-
ed in, so that more trouble may be ex'
pecfed

LAMAR TALKS.
He will go on the Supreme Bench if a
Seat is Offered BIN,

He will go on the Supreme Bench if
Seat is offered BIN.
New YORK, November 16.-Secretary
Lamar stated last evening to a reporter
that in case he was offered seat on the
Supreme bench he would accept the ap-
pointment as the greatest honor of his life.
In reference to the rumor that Mr.. Don
be invited to accept a portfolio in Presi-
dent Cieveiand's cabinet, Mr.. Lamar said
that he had no knowledge OF the matter,
but he paid a high compliment to the
Detroit gentleman, and thought it was no
disparsgement to his character that he was,
as reported, an active participant In
politics. He believed that this might be
acceptable to the rank and file of the DEM
ocratic party, as Mr.. Dickinson was not
only good politician in the honest sense
of that term, but he was a good Democrat
and good citizen.
In regard to Sparks resignation, he said:
t'Mr. Sparks resignation will involve no
DETECTION or abatement from the policy
which President Cleveland has established
with reference to the preservation OF our
public lands from illegal appropriation by
corporations and land spectators" Mr..
Lamar then paid tribute to President
Cleveland as the actual author OF the land
reforms which had been inaugurated by
this Administration in accordance with
the well policy Of the Democratic
party.
AS to Mr.. Sperks taking the credit for
these great achievements, Mr.. Lamar only
laughed. "The work will go on Just the
same when a change is made in the head of
the General Land Office, "he said, with con-
siderable vigor; mo one man is absolutely
essential In this government

NOTED THIEVES JAILED.

The Principals in an Immense Bond Rob-
berry Caught in Chicago.
CHICAGO, November 16.-Miner and Car
son, the fashionable dressedmen who have
been in custody here for several days as
vsgrants, and are to be taken to Boston to
answer charges OF burglarizing the Office OF
the Roxbury Gas Co, we're identified to-
day as the perpetrators of the largest bond
robbery on record, the theft of $40 900 in
securities from the office OF James Young,
a New York real estate broker, abut 1879.
The full amount was recovered but no d.
rect evidence could be brought against Car
con, and Miner escaped from a court bailiff
the day before the case came up. 1t is not
thought probable that they will again be
arraigned for the bond robbery, but will
undoubtedly go to the prison for their Of
tense committed in Boston.
The story of the bond robbery and the
recovery of the securities is, In msny re-
spects, extraordinary. Young's office WAS
on Nassau street. About January 1, 1879,
Mr.. Young took from depository a large
quantity of bonds TO his office for the
purpose CT cutting off coupons. The bonds
were left in charge of clerk, who, while
engaged in cutting off the coupons, was
told that lame man, seated in a carriage
outside, wanted to inquire about some prop
erty. The clerk put the bonds on table

door. They got about $40, 900 in railroad
and government bonds.
From descriptions the detectives were

Hovan were the thieves and

Hovsn woman left for Petersburg. Va.
One of the men followed and arrested the
trio just as Miner was to leave for the
North TO negotiate the sale of the bonds,
all of which were found In his trunk. They
also found package Of $4,000 which had
been stolen from a CORTLAND, N. Y,
bank come time before, and which
had been buried in Florida. Carson
and Hovan were not identified as
participants in the Young robbery, nor
was any proof brought against the three

STRANGE SUGGESTIONS.
The Belief in witchcraft in Southern In.
diana Sixty Years Ago.
Vevay, Ind, Reveille

Vevay, Ind, Reveille
About sixty years ago many OF the peo-
pie residing in the nejghborhood OF East
Enterprise were possessed of delusion that
witchcraft were reality, and that num-
Der of their neighbors were full tledged
witches, posse ssed of remarkable powers,
even to the saddliDg and bridling man
and with sharp spurs riding him all over the
worst roads distorted mind could imag ne.
The next morning the poor m an would be
so tired and sore that he could hardly
move. AT other times the housewife
would churn half day and would not
get particle of butter. The only remedy
was to take an old horseshoe that had been
worn on the left foot of baldfacs horse
and heat it hot and dropit into the churn,
which was prett ycertain to expel the ter
rib3e witch.
One who tried the experiment said:
"When dropped the red-hot shoe into
the churn / heard something run off the
roof of the house, and l smelt hair Just as
sure as you are born, and in five minutes
/ had churn nearly full of bntter. The
next day ! saw the woman that believed
had bewitched the butter, and her hair
was crisped on one side in the very shape
of a horseshoe"
II the above remedy failed, the next
thing to do was to draw a life-size picture
of the supposed witch and nail it upon a
tree, and then run q silver bullet out of a
silver dollar and shoot the image. The
last act was considered a complete cure.
One of the ardent believers in witches,
man in the prime OF life, possessed of fair
ser sc in other matters, told in our hearing
what trying ordeal he had passed through
a few evenings before. He had been to
visit the sick, and was returning about 10
o'clock through the fields, often climbing
high fences. Finally, las he got up on high
ten-rail fence, with one leg thrown over the
top rail, he saw standing on the other side
one whom he knew to be witch" She
said nothing, but put spell on him that
riveted him to the spot, and he said he
was as speeches. as Lots wife when she
was turned into salt When daylight
came the witch vanished, and he got over
the fence and went home. He says the
top rail was very sharp one, and he didn't
get over the soreness for a month.
When the hens tailed to hatch their eggs
it was laid on the, witches. The witches
always did their worst work on Friday. II
the rail fences fell down while they were
covered with sleet and ice the witches were
blamed with it. II calf got choked on
potatoes,s the witches were responsible.
1t was fact not to be wondered at that
every one of these believers In witches be-
lieved the 'woIld to be fat" Many of
them would have hung the supposed
witches, as their ignorant forefatbers did
in an early day, if they bad been possessed
of the power. Two Of the men snapped
wives for a month or so and it was all laid
at the doors of those terrible witches.

Ausnst Spies, estimate of Lingg.

CHICAGO, November 16.-The Arbeiter
Zeitung this evening published letter
from Michael Schwab, written in the
county Jail the day before the execution
OF the Anarchists. The letter is printed
under the heading August Spies IS a
Man." but is devoted to proving that
while Spies and LiDgg had different ideas,
the editor nevertheless had high opinion
of the bomb maker. Schwab asserts
that when the death watch lOsbornl
informed Spies of Lingg's death, Spies
burst into tears. The letter further says
that when Fielden, Spies and Schwab
were taken to the Jail library the afternoon
of the day before the hanging to bid good
bye to their families, they were in the
room for fully two hours In company
with two deputies; that the conversation
naturally turned to Linggs death, and
1--WE all agreed that he was an extraordin-
airy man." Spies said "Lingg
was q man OF strong principles and
could not be frightened back from ideas
he had undertaken as principle. He was
impelled by high ideas. John Brown was
such man. The French revolution had
its Danton and its Marata. and also the
African revolution showed characters SIM
liar to LiDgg." The Arbeitez Zeitung also
publishes letter addressed to the wife OF
Eneel by q certain show man offering her
$4,000 for the body Of Lingg, the purpose
being to place 1t on exhibition in the
different cities throughout the United
States
